Comments on: "Photo Friday" (53)
Beautiful!
The light, the shade and the bird so at home with needs met, brilliant and gorgeous!
Lovely description Patti. Thank you!
A lovely photograph. I like the feeling of the being captured in a little moment of rest between finding food for its chicks. And I like the colour gradient in the background going from green to yellow.
Thank you Otto! Indeed, it was a brief rest before feeding the kids:)
Great catch, dear Elena! You’re a lucky! I love it!
Have a wonderful day! Big hugs, much love, Stefania! 🙂
Thanks Stefania!:)
Great picture Elena! I love that you caught it with the bug in the beak.
Thanks Tim!
Lovely, very ‘spring-ish’. Guess that’s nesting material rather than dinner?
Dinner actually. LOTs of green caterpillars:)
Love the colours and the bokeh, Elena! Nice shot.
Thanks you Richard! Sometimes I get a lucky shot:)
Beautiful capture! The bright blurred background & blades of grass are such lovely details.
Love this!!!
Thanks very much Angela!
I just love this Elena.. the tones in the background are gorgeous
Thank you Helen.
Brilliant capture, Elena! Beautiful colours and very nice composition. Would love to see a water colour painting inspired by this!
You’ve inspired me:) Thanks Uday!
Perfect .
Such a lovely one to share Elena x
Thanks so much Poppy!
No matter when you took this photo, it immediately reminded me of nightfall and it’s one of my favorites you’ve shared. Such a lovely picture.
Thanks very much Allyson Marie!
great shot!
Thanks!
This is terrific, Elena. Love the tones, contrasts, and your feathered friend. : )
Stunning!
Thank you Karen!
I like this a lot!! – the simple balance of the composition; the crispness of the bird and grasses contrasting with the out of focus background; the gradation of colours in the background, all contribute to make an unusual but very effective image.
Thanks very much Louis-just got lucky really:)
But you were alive to the opportunity Elena!
Smashing picture Elena!
Thanks much!
Well balanced photograph, beautiful contrast of light and colors, nice shot!
Thank you!
Simply lovely!
Thank you Anita!
A solitary bird… Excellent shot, Elena!
🙂
Thanks much Marina:)
For some reason the words “crisp and clear” came to mind! Lovely picture 🙂
Those are very good words Shree. Thanks!
Nice!
Thanks Amal!
Beautiful shot!
Thanks Sofia:)
What a beautiful image you created Elena !
I especially liked the color contrast, warm top and
cold colored lower part. I even smell a chilly air.
It was a bit breezy. Thanks Yoshi:)
Great photo. I like the contrast of colors in it! Just lovely.
Thank you Jess:)
Naturaleza en mayúscula.
Preciosa.
Saludos.
Thank you.
A ti.
Un saludo.
Lovely one… I loved it. Thank you dear Elena, have a nice weekend, love, nia
Thank Nia, you too!
